Chāndogya 5.12.1
औपमन्यव कं त्वमात्मानमुपास्स इति दिवमेव भगवो राजन्निति होवाचैष वै सुतेजा आत्मा वैश्वानरो यं त्वमात्मानमुपास्से तस्मात्तव सुतं प्रसुतमासुतं कुले दृश्यते ॥ ५.१२.१ ॥
Aupamanyava, what self do you meditate upon? — Venerable king, the heaven indeed, he replied. This is the self Vaiśvānara, of good brilliance, the self you meditate upon. Therefore sons, grandsons and their sons are seen in your family.
Chāndogya 5.12.2
अत्स्यन्नं पश्यसि प्रियमत्त्यन्नं पश्यति प्रियं भवत्यस्य ब्रह्मवर्चसं कुले य एतमेवमात्मानं वैश्वानरमुपास्ते मूर्धा त्वेष आत्मन इति होवाच मूर्धा ते व्यपतिष्यद्यन्मां नागमिष्य इति ॥ ५.१२.२ ॥
When you eat food, you see pleasant food and eat pleasant food; for one who thus meditates on this Vaiśvānara ātman, there is brilliance of sacred knowledge in the family. He said: the head is indeed the head of this ātman. Had you not come to me, your head would have fallen off.
